Condolence Messages

A bit late here. Albert and I went to World Gym together from 1990 into the late 90’s. We had lost contact and while searching for him, I came across this posting. My condolences for his family as Albert was an awesome person and full of life. The lord took him at such a young age. All the best to his family.
